The Ethics Of A Profession Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Ethics of a Profession Now, for many years it has been increasingly manifest that the occupations, whether in trade, industry or profession, need guidance for all the people who follow them. It is no longer permis sible to scoff at the idea of ethics in a trade. In many of the most humble vocations there is an ethical spirit among the leaders, if not the rank and file, which might well be emulated by the so - called higher orders of society. In the sphere of industry and merchandising many fine things are being done, and those who would succeed to day are finding it essential to conduct their en terprises in accordance with an enlightened al truism. The old notion that each merchant was a law unto himself, not influencing nor influ enced by the acts of his competitors, has been thrown into the discard.

So men are banding to gether somewhat after the fashion of the old guilds, and there is a free exchange of ideas and experimental knowledge which is making the business world a better place.

Excerpt from Medical Ethics: A Guide to Professional Conduct IT is not more easy to find a solid basis for medical ethics than for general ethics, which latter problem has puzzled philosophers in all times. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were content to take common opinion, the current morality of the time, 'as a sufficient basis, but later criticism sometimes refuses to accept a standard which varies in different stages of civilisation and even among different classes of the same people living at the same time; yet, with the exception of the period during which the teaching of Christ was universally regarded as the inspired Word of God, no undisputed foundation for ethics than the better kind of current opinion has been proposed, and this book is merely an attempt to give expression to the views entertained upon the questions treated by what may be called representative medical opinion.

Excerpt from Professional Ethics of Public Accounting These rules, then, are not meaningless mouthings of ideal ists remote from reality; they are not arbitrary dogma im posed by a professional hierarchy upon a helpless rank and file; they are not inspired by a sadistic pleasure in the irritation of those who have to observe them.
